Isn’t it cute how Misery after a teeny tiny bit of success is acting like they are a powerhouse program. It’s damn cute!

It’s a good way to keep your mind off of your football team.

So let me get this straight. Everywhere on Planet Earth has certain time-honored proven engineering in regard to excavation and dirtwork and natural turf management...BUT...on a tiny little small area of acreage in Columbia, Missouri, it's all different and does not apply...


Yes

Let me add that I heard differently:
there is too much rock underneath, that doesn't allow proper drainage.
Combine that with enclosing both ends, and you block the wind from blowing through and removing evaporation.
So the grass sits in too much water and gets mold/mildew.

You can dig out the sandy soil and replace it with better soil.

They're not southerners.


They do not understand. Although, they do now, but won't admit it.

Are you being dead serious? I can’t comprehend how anyone can’t understand what can and can’t be done.

It can be done but would cost some money. It appears Mizzou is poors and does not want to spend the money.

Mizzou fans just sounding dumb in this topic.

Just say, turf is easier and cheaper. We used to have turf after our groundcrew just destroyed the field over the years via poor managment. We switched to turf.

Then, we got serious and now have one of the best grass fields in the nation. We also always have a beautiful natural grass baseball field.

Texas having a turf baseball field is just gross. I know they've had one forever but that is just so wrong.

It's Texas. It's baseball. Turf?
